Motorola have announced another new phone this week, the MOTOFONE. The candy bar styled phone is the thinnest in Motorola’s lineup at approximately 9mm (.35″) thick, and is said to be part of the SCPL (“scalpel”) platform. Motorola hopes the GSM capable MOTOFONE F3 will be a cost effective, introductory phone for new users but still provide a handset that makes a statement with style and design.

* Electrophoretic Display
* Redesigned UI
* 16.5 days of standby time
* 7 hours of talk time
* Speakerphone

The phone is expected to be available in Q4 2006. No pricing information has been provided at this time.

Motorola Gold RAZR V3i

Posted on July 25, 2006 by adminNo Comments

First seen in December 2005 only one thousand gold RAZR V3i phones where produced and sold exclusively at Dolce & Gabbana boutiques worldwide. This model is now available in the Carphone Warehouse (maybe other stores but I’ve not seen it)

The Motorola V3iM mobile phone takes Motorola’s popular RAZR flip design, adds an expandable memory, then goes a step further by including iTunes compatibility.

The result is a music player that’s delightfully easy to use. Press the Music key – that’s what the ‘M’ at the end of the name stands for, in case you wondered – and you’re able to browse through playlists to choose your favourite songs. Just as importantly, Apple’s iTunes software also makes it easy to transfer songs from your PC. In fact, the Motorola V3iM is a perfect companion whether you already have an iPod or if you’re just joining the digital music revolution.

Take a break from your favourite tunes and you’ll discover a 1.23 megapixel camera for photos and videos. The large high-resolution colour display will act as a full-screen viewfinder or, if you prefer, you can use the smaller external screen for self-portraits.

In addition, this ultra-slim camera phone offers you Java games, MP3 ringtones, a personal organiser, voice-activated calling and quad-band international coverage. But we reckon it’s the music features that’ll convince most people. The Motorola V3iM has taken the mobile music player and transformed it into a svelte style icon.

Features of the Motorola Gold RAZR V3i include:

Weight (g): 95g
Talktime (Up to): 7hrs
Standby time (Up to): 12 days
Operating frequency: Quad band
Display size: 176 x 220 pixels
Display colour depth: 262,000
Address book memory: 2000 entries
Phone memory: 10 MB shared memory
Vibration alert: Yes
